NWS Tallahassee, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 8, 2:22 PM EST, 5 hours 28 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 322 PM EDT FRI JUN 8 2007 .SYNOPSIS... THE REGIONAL SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE OVER NORTH FL AND THE CENTRAL GULF COAST...AND A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST. SATELLITE AND RADAR IMAGERY SHOW A SEA BREEZE FRONT NEAR THE COAST OF THE FLORIDA BIG BEND AND PANHANDLE THIS MID AFTERNOON...WITH JUST A FEW STORMS OVER WESTERN PORTIONS OF OUR AREA WHERE THERE IS MORE DEEP LAYER MOISTURE. THE 1000-700 MB MEAN FLOW HAS TRANSITIONED FROM LIGHT SOUTH FLOW THIS MORNING...TO NORTH FLOW AT 5 TO 10 KT THIS AFTERNOON. THIS FLOW IS HELPING TO PIN THE SEA BREEZE NEAR THE COAST. && .SHORT TERM... (TONIGHT-MONDAY) THE 12 UTC NUMERICAL GUIDANCE BRINGS THE COLD FRONT TO THE NORTHERN PART OF OUR AREA BY SATURDAY...AND STALLS THIS SYSTEM THROUGH TUESDAY. THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MODELS IS HOW MUCH MOISTURE WILL MAKE IT INTO OUR AREA SATURDAY. THE GFS BRINGS QUITE A BIT OF DEEP LAYER MOISTURE WITH THIS FRONT (WHICH CORRESPONDS TO HIGHER RAIN CHANCES) WHILE THE NAM IS MUCH DRIER. THE UKMET IS SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN. WE CHOSE A SOLUTION IN THE MIDDLE. THE 1000-700 MB MEAN FLOW WILL LIKELY BE OUT OF THE NORTH AT 5 TO 10 KT. THIS FLOW WOULD TEND TO PIN THE SEA BREEZE CLOSER TO THE COAST...RESULTING IN A HIGHER POP FOR OUR FL ZONES AND LOWER POP FOR OUR GA ZONES. HOWEVER...THERE COULD STILL BE SOME RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT AS IT MAKES ITS WAY THROUGH OUR GA AND AL ZONES SATURDAY...SO WE DO NOT WANT TO DISMISS THE RAIN CHANCES THERE EITHER. WE USED A BLEND OF THE MAV AND MET POP...WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE WEIGHT TOWARD THE MAV. SUNDAY AND MONDAY WILL BE FAIRLY DRY WITH BELOW AVERAGE POP DUE TO STRONG RIDGING ALOFT (WARM SINKING AIR) AND DRIER AIR IN THE LOWER TROPOSPHERE. DAYTIME TEMPERATURES WILL BE A LITTLE ABOVE CLIMATOLOGY THROUGH MONDAY. .LONG TERM... (TUESDAY-FRIDAY) THE POP WILL BE A LITTLE BELOW AVERAGE AND TEMPERATURES NEAR AVERAGE WITH NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AND WEAK RIDGING AT THE SURFACE. THE BEST RAIN CHANCES WILL BE DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS...BUT SOMETIMES UNEXPECTED MCSS CAN DEVELOP UPSTREAM IN THIS TYPE OF PATTERN DURING THE SUMMER...AND CAN BRING US RAIN AT ANY TIME. SUCH EVENTS ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO FORECAST THIS FAR IN ADVANCE. && .AVIATION... LOCALLY...THE ATMOSPHERE IS SOMEWHAT SUPPRESSED SO BACKED OFF ON THE CHANCES FOR CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. WILL WATCH DEVELOPING CONVECTION OVER MOBILES CWA AS THEY MAY APPROACH AND IMPACT THE DHN AND PFN TERMINALS. OVERNIGHT WE EXPECT A REPEAT OF THE PREVIOUS TWO NIGHTS WITH WIDESPREAD STRATUS DEVELOPING. ALSO...WENT WITH TEMPOS FOR IFR VSBY AT TLH AND VLD...WITH MVFR VSBY ELSEWHERE. BETTER CHANCE FOR CONVECTION SATURDAY AFTERNOON BUT SHOULD BE NEAR OR BEYOND 18Z. && .MARINE... VERY LOW WINDS AND SEAS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY DUE TO A WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT. && .FIRE WEATHER... THE SURFACE MOISTURE WILL REMAIN HIGH ENOUGH TO PRECLUDE THE ISSUANCE OF RED FLAG WARNINGS FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT FEW DAYS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
